Confederate States District Court. --Judge Halyburton delivered his decision yesterday in the habeas corpus case of John H. Leftwich, who claims exemption from military service on the ground of being a mail contractor. The Judge gave as his opinion that any man who holds a contract from the Government for carrying the mail on any route over ten miles in length cannot be compelled to perform service in the Confederate army, no matter whether said contract was made anterior or prior to the passage of the act by the Confederate Congress conscripting all persons between the ages of eighteen and forty-five; and Mr. Leftwich having proved that his contract embraced a route over ten miles in length, he was therefore discharged. The habeas corpus cases of L Lloyd and H. D. Stevens were postponed till Thursday The decision in the habeas corpus case of Frederick W. Boyd will be delivered on Friday. The Court adjourned till eleven o'clock this morning.

Mayor's Court, yesterday. --Recorder Caskie officiating.--James H. Saunders was charged with stealing two brass cannon bushings, valued at one hundred and fifty dollars, and one brass lock, the property of the Confederate States. The accused has been employed at the artillery workshops. For sometime past considerable quantities of brass belonging there have been lost, but no clue was obtained as to who was the thief till a day or two back, when suspicion pointed very plainly to the prisoner. He was therefore watched, and on Monday was detected leaving the shop with a small box under his arm, which he stated contained some peas; but one of the officers insisted upon an examination, which disclosed the stolen brass. In his room was found other Government metal. The Recorder sent him on to the Hustings Court for examination. Ben, slave of J, H. Gentry, was remanded to the Hustings Court for examination on the charge of breaking into the store of James T. Butler & Co, on th

There is but one purpose for which the States can be c than that alluded to. The Mercury is perfectly right in the matter. The Confederate States are so many sovereignties, each a nation in itself, with all the claims aes into effect. That agent or attorney is known as the Government of the Confederate States. Its power of attorney is the Constitution, and it cannot transcend the a convention with Great Britain, which is no more a foreign power than the United States? The Constitution confers upon the President, by and with the advice aWhat we want, first of all, is entire and separate independence. The Confederate States can go into convention with the Yankee States in one way, and one only.

uding all the Southern States. Declaring that there is no election, he will assume that the Presidency cannot be vacated, and that the incumbent, namely, himself, must fill it until there can be an election, under the Constitution, in the re-united States. Has he not claimed already the right to four years of Presidency over the whole United States? not Seward say for him that he had been cheated of his right to preside over all the States by secession, and that he meant to acquire his righUnited States? not Seward say for him that he had been cheated of his right to preside over all the States by secession, and that he meant to acquire his right by conquering the rebel States and presiding over the whole Union, according to the Constitution! Wade and Winter Davis threaten that if Lincoln presumes to count for himself the votes of the rebel States, brought back into the Union by the one-tenth of their population under his famous proclamation, and to claim his seat on that ground, his "competitor" will resist. But what cares Lincoln for that. He can bribe Wade or Davis with a mess of pottage if he thinks it best; or he can easily
